A teenager killed a dad for his Rolex watch in a horrific church attack. Jordan Short, 19, laughed and grinned after Steven McMyler, 34, was kicked to death for his accessory, reports Manchester Evening News.
Manchester Crown Court heard that the incident occurred back in 2020, when the father-of-two had gone to a jewellers in Wigan to get an updated valuation for his Rolex Submariner watch. Prosecutor Mark Ford KC says the piece had previously been valued at £11.500.
The 34-year-old then visited The Raven pub and began conversing with Lewis Peake who took an interest in the expensive watch after the father revealed its worth. The prosecutor says Peake then plotted to rob the watch and was captured on CCTV chatting to two teens who he tried in vain to recruit as part of his devious plans.
